SMOKE AND AIR FLUE.

as willenable others skilled in the art to which" it appertains to makeand use the same.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in smoke and airfines; and it consists in a chimney-flue set in a partition.

or wall between the rooms of a building and provided with exposedheat-radiating sides.

The object of the invention is to improve and simplify the constructionof fines of this character and to provide a flue which will effect agreat saving in the heat from a furnace or stove.

With this and other objects in view the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts,as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in theappended claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of chimney constructed inaccordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectionalview through the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken onthe line.

3 3 of- Fig, 1. Fig. 4 is a similar sectional view taken on the line 4 4of Fig. 1.

fled form of the invention, showingbut one side of the flue, providedwith a metallic heatradiating cover or wall.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 denotes a partition or wall ofa building or other structure in which a vertical passage or opening 2is formed. Said passage, which extends from the basement to the top ofthe building and forms the smoke-flue or chimney, has both of its opensides closed by the metallic heat-radiating plates 4. Said plates arecurved or bowed transversely and ex-' tend from the floor to the ceilingof each room. A single plate or a plurality of small plates suitablysecured together may be used, as desired. The side edges of each of theplates are bent to form a right-angular flange 5, which engages thecorners of the brick- Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view through amodi- Serial No. 162,678. (No model.)

' work 6, which lines the ends of the passage or fine 2. The plates arefastened along their sides to this brickwork by spikes, nails, or otherfastening means 6, and they are also fastened at their top and bottom byproviding'an angular flange 7, which is secured by bolts or rivetstohorizontally-disposed metallic frames 8, fastened to the floors andceiling of each room.

An opening 9 is formed in the brick portion of the lower end of thechimney in the basement, said opening being adapted to receive thesmoke-pipe of the furnace, which heats the house or building, andsuitable stovepipe-openings 10 are formed in the metal plates 4 in eachroom upon each floor. When stoves are not used, said openings, 10 areclosed by suitable covers 11. A swinging damper 12 is pivoted in thepassage or flue 2 by securing the same to a horizontal shaft 13,projecting through and journaled in the plates 4. Said damper is adaptedto be operated by a lever or handle 14, secured to the shaft 13. Thedamper may be located at any desired point in the line, and if desiredchains may be connected to the lever 14 to permit the same to beoperated from any distant place.

In order to carry 0d the foul and cold air from the rooms of thebuilding, I provide in the plates 4, in each room adjacent to the floor,the openings 15, which are adapted to be opened or closed by a slidingapertured door 16, operatedby means of the knob or handpiece 1'7. Aguard or deflector plate 18 is provided within the fines adjacent toeach of these cold-air outlets for the purpose of deflecting the smokeand products of combustion passing up the passage past the saidopenings.

In the modification of the invention illustrated in Fig. 5 of thedrawings the passage or flue 2 is closed upon one side, and hence theplates 4 are used only upon the open side. This form of the invention isused when the flue is constructed in the outer wall of a building.

It will be seen that as the smoke and gases from the furnace or stovespass up the chimhey-flue the plates 4 will be thoroughly heated andbeing of metal will radiate their heat throughout the rooms. A greatsaving in the heat which is ordinarily wasted is thus ef fected. Ifdesired, the plates 4 may be corrugated or ornamented, and thus serve tobeautify the room.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the inventionwill be readily understood Without requiring a more extendedexplanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details ofconstruction may he resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any-of the ad vantages of this invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination with a wall or partition of a building or the like,having a vertical passage or opening provided with open sides, of framesabout said passage at the ceilings and floors of the building, andheat-radiating covers for said open sides of the pas-- sage providedwith side and end flanges, said side flanges being secured to the wallor partition and the end flanges to said frames, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination with a wall or partition of a building or the like,having a vertical passage or opening provided with open sides,of framesabout said passage at the cei1- ings and floors of the building,metallic plates covering the open sides of said passage and providedwith flanges adapted to be secured to said wall orpartition and saidframes, a damper in said passage, smoke-pipe openings in the sides ofsaid passage, and cold-air openings in said plates adjacent to thefloors, substantially as described.

3. The combination with a wall or partition of a building having avertical passage or opening provided with an open side, of frames aboutsaid passage at the ceilings and floors of the building, and aheat-radiating cover for said open side provided with side and endflanges, said side flanges being secured to the wall or partition andthe end flanges to said frames, substantially as described.

4. The combination with a wall or partition of a building having avertical passage or opening provided with an open side, of aheat-radiating cover for said open side provided with flanges, saidcover having a foulair inlet, a controller therefor, and means fordeflecting the products of combustion past said inlet, and means forsecuring said flanges to the wall or partition, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
